(4) This, in turn, brings up the Confirm Save As dialog, informing you that already exists. This awkward behavior forces the user to (2) Select the folder (it defaults to the folder where the file resides) and (3) Click Save. Unlike most Windows apps, the Save and Save As commands in Acrobat Reader DC do exactly the same thing! Adobe Acrobat Reader DC’s annoying behavior when using the Save function to save files Unlike most Windows apps, the Save and Save As commands in Acrobat Reader DC do exactly the same thing! You try it a few times, making sure you’re not accidentally choosing Save As. You expect Acrobat Reader DC to simply save the file without further ado.īut Acrobat Reader DC surprises you by opening the Save As dialog. You open a PDF file, highlight text, add a comment or signature or make any other changes to it, and then use the convenient CTRL+ S keyboard shortcut, or click File > Save or the save icon on the ribbon/toolbar. The Save and Save As options on Adobe Acrobat Reader DC’s File menu look like every other Windows app Like most Windows apps, Acrobat Reader DC has the Save ( CTRL+ S) and Save As ( CTRL+ SHIFT+ S) options on the File menu. One of the more annoying ones, and one I hadn’t noticed until I switched from Nitro and made Acrobat Reader DC the default, is a simple, rather silly UI bug Adobe refuses to acknowledge or fix. Your mileage may vary.Īcrobat Reader DC isn’t free from its quirks and flaws. But Adobe still offers the best experience by far. Sure, web browsers such as Chrome and Edge can display PDFs too, and so can many other reader apps. It makes consuming PDF docs arguably a more pleasant experience than many of its competitors. Over the years, I’ve had an interesting ride with Acrobat, tried many competing PDF viewers and creators, but settled on the current generation of Acrobat Reader DC. Adobe found great success with Acrobat and PDF, and it quickly became the preferred file format to exchange print-ready documents, forms and digital publications. The ability to create and exchange documents using any platform or software, and be assured the documents would display and print as created, with their original fonts, graphics and layout in tact. I’ve been an ardent user and supporter of Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF) and Adobe Acrobat software from its very early days. UPDATE : Less than 2 years after Adobe fixed it, the Acrobat Reader file save bug is back.Thank you, Adobe! This makes life easier for users who save PDF docs in Acrobat throughout the day. UPDATE : This was fixed in a recent Acrobat build.
